Suggested Fibers for This Project
Cotton makes a good material for a sunglass case, as it feels solid and lets the case keep its shape a little better. A smooth yarn also makes the stitches easier to see.
Experience Level
Simple for beginners. The project here is a simple sunglasses case, and is a good easy practical make.
Size & Fit Guide
Make the case wider or taller by repeating the main section until your sunglasses fit comfortably. Try it on as you go so the case is snug but not too snug.
Stitches Applied
The search result does not clearly specify all the stitches used, so follow the tutorial step by step for the exact stitch pattern.
Making It
Launch the Foundation
First, crochet the base of the case. Make sure that the starting section is wide enough that your sunglasses can be slipped into it without stretching the fabric too much.
Work the Main Section on
Construct the case body by building up the pattern as shown in the tutorial. Continue until the case is high enough to cover your glasses.
Change the Size
Pause and try it on before you’re done. Add more rounds or rows until it feels the right length.
Join or start
When the body is the size you want, shape and finish the top edge as shown so the case holds together neatly.
Finish the edges off
Carefully weave in the ends and smooth out the case before use.
Helpful Hints
- Try on your sunglasses before you’re done to see how they fit.

- If you lose your place easily, employ stitch markers
- Weave in ends securely as this case will be well used.
Common Errors to Avoid
- Narrowing the base too much
- Crocheting too tight
- Forgot to wear it

- loose ends within case
Customizing Ideas
You could make it in a bright summer colour, put a simple edging on it, sew on a button or else make it a multipurpose pouch for small things.
